Raheem Sterling, the talented football player, may soon make his debut for Arsenal against their fierce rivals, Tottenham. It seems that William Gallas, a former player for both Arsenal and Chelsea, is confident that Sterling has finally found his perfect club and will thrive under the guidance of Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta. This comes after Sterling's unsuccessful stint at Chelsea, where he was deemed surplus to requirements by their manager, Enzo Maresca.
During the summer transfer window, Arsenal had been struggling to find suitable players to strengthen their forward line. However, on the last day of the window, they made a bold move to sign Sterling on loan. This move came as a surprise, as Sterling had previously thrived under Arteta's leadership at Manchester City. Although he was unable to play in Arsenal's 1-1 draw against Brighton due to being ineligible, Sterling is now in contention to make his debut in the upcoming north London derby.
Gallas, who had previously expressed disappointment in Sterling's performance at Chelsea, believes that the 29-year-old will flourish in a more stable environment with familiar faces around him. In an interview with Prime Casino, Gallas stated, "I think this can be a very good move for Raheem Sterling. It looks like it will be a positive move for Arsenal, and you can see that Sterling looks really, really pleased to have joined the club."
Gallas also mentioned that Sterling's body language at Chelsea was not positive, but now he seems happy and relaxed at Arsenal. Gallas believes that Sterling may have always wanted to play for Arsenal, as he is a London native. The former player also acknowledged that Arsenal have a lot of wingers, but Sterling's addition could prove to be beneficial for the team, especially if he can score goals.
Reflecting on Sterling's departure from Chelsea, Gallas commented, "When I said it wouldn't be a loss if he left Chelsea, that was fair. He didn't show his ability at the football club. It's simple." However, Gallas also believes that Sterling has the opportunity to prove himself as a player at Arsenal, especially under the guidance of Arteta, who knows him well from their time together at Arsenal and Liverpool.
Gallas also addressed the way Sterling was exiled by Chelsea, stating, "I'm sure that Raheem Sterling will have a point to prove, that's what I would expect from a player with his background and pedigree." However, Gallas also acknowledged that Sterling cannot blame anyone else for his departure from Chelsea, as it was his own fault for not performing well enough. Gallas added, "He wasn't good enough. Chelsea wouldn't have been so happy to let him go if he delivered, but he didn't."
